It's not all about giving away anything for free, it's also about too many people following the same thing and then it no longer working. A lot of folks don't get that.............

Yes but there are so many voices in the wilderness. Hard to imagine it would have an overall impact...at least not to market...just in my humble opinion!
I don't know, B. There's pros and cons. You might have enjoyed the additional 7% I_T would have given you this year.
With your balance, I'm guessing that's some serious moolah.

Ah, but the year is not over yet. I think I may do just fine staying in the wilderness. I'm happy with my allocation and will wait on fate to show me the gains.

Any Holy Grail system will spread like wildfire if it gets out into the wild: via email, phone, sms, other chat rooms, etc. Everyone can't trade the same exact way and expect it to still work. You need someone to sell to and buy from. It's like a pyramid scheme.
However, it is also about not giving away something for free. For if the whole world said to the effect of "We all want your premium service!" (If not in those exact words): I'm sure it would be sold to them.
So yeah, eventually, it will gradually work less and less well. But I think the immediate and ultimate concern is .... money.
(There is also the psychological aspect of ... "How dare you give my hard earned information away for free--my intellectual property...as though it originated from you...and without compensating me by having that person you told what you agreed not to tell, become my next customer!)
imho

Hi Userque. Definitely not knocking capitalism. That's a good thing! If I did not believe in it, I would not be a paying member. You pay for good services.Any Holy Grail system will spread like wildfire if it gets out into the wild: via email, phone, sms, other chat rooms, etc. Everyone can't trade the same exact way and expect it to still work.

Sorry 'bout that DBA, you're right in what you say quoted above!
I responded to you, but it was actually referring to what the milk man said, "It's not all about giving away anything for free, it's also about too many people following the same thing and then it no longer working. A lot of folks don't get that............."
All that (and previously) said, I think $20/mo. is a good deal for an advisor that consistently beats the markets.

Yep! Finally. I was looking at DWCPF...that candle today was BIG! Of course MACD is still running flattish...has been for some time now. Kinda disturbing. Really haven't seen it that flat historically going back lots of years, at least not while below the zero line. Not sure what that means. It's starting to consolidate...so wonder how long it will climb this month. So far looks like seasonality is intact...and JTH mentioned that. He has a very nice chart on his thread that he posted today.Today's closing:
F Fund: (-0.08%) Boo
C Fund: +0.97% Woohoo
S Fund: +1.78% Woohoo
I Fund: +0.66% Woohoo
Finally...a decent day!

Did you also notice the 10 SMA is below the 20 SMA and they are both below the 50 SMA. It's been that way for some time now. That is also disturbing...The good news is for 2014, AGG hit a new high of 108.79 on 8 May, SPX hit a new high today of 1896.65 and EFA hit a new high of 68.67. At this point, I'll take anything positive. Perhaps things are finally turning around.

Another cause for concern was yesterdays light volume. Not exactly the thing long runs are made of. Unless something happens to drive the bond folks toward equities, this could be a short run. Stay on your toes folks...

IMHO lately it seems what the markets look like at noon are completely different when the closing bell sounds. If I were to guess now I would say down because the VIX is in the green but I know my percentage for being right and it ain't good. If I have a 50/50 chance, 90% of the time I guess wrong.
Good luck with your investments!
